ASSISI, ITALY - MARCH 18: (EDITORS NOTE: This image depicts death.) A nun prays at the tomb of Blessed Carlo Acutis in the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore on March 18, 2025 in Assisi, Italy. Assisi is the resting place of Carlo Acutis, a London-born Italian teenager who died from leukemia in 2006 and was later beatified by Pope Francis in 2020. Acutis, who has been referred to as "God's Influencer," will become the first millennial saint when he is canonised in a ceremony next month during the Church's Jubilee of Teenagers. It was Carlos Acutis's final wish to be buried in Assisi. On 6th April 2019, his body was brought to the Sanctuary of the Spoliation and will be his final resting, attracting pilgrims from across the world to visit his tomb and that of St. Francis of Assisi in the nearby Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi.
